Lyon went into the game with a two-point cushion over Bordeaux, but it was a lead that had been whittled away over recent weeks after being a lot more commanding for most of the season. Goals in the first ten minutes from Karim Benzema and Fred settled any nerves Lyon might have had before the season's final round of fixtures kicked off. Kim Källström added a third six minutes after half-time and not even a late Frédéric Thomas effort could take the gloss off the win and title triumph. Lyon now have the chance to complete the first double in their history against Paris Saint-Germain FC next weekend.
